abstract
  • %22I'll Be Seeing You%22 is a popular song, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. Published in 1938, the song was inserted into the Broadway musical Right This Way, which closed after fifteen performances. In the musical, it was performed by the singer Tamara Drasin, who had a few years earlier introduced %22Smoke Gets in Your Eyes%22. The song is a jazz standard, and has been covered by many musicians.The musical theme has emotional power, and was much loved during World War II, when it became an anthem for those serving overseas (both British and American soldiers). The lyrics begin, in Bert Ambrose's recorded version, with a preamble:Cathedral bells were tolling and our hearts sang on;Was it the spell of Paris or the April dawn?Who knows if we shall meet again?But when the morning chimes ring sweet again...I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places [etc.]As the song develops, the words take a jaunty commonplace of casual farewell and transform it by degrees, to climax with ...and when the night is new,I'll be looking at the moon,But I'll be seeing you.The resemblance between the main tune's first four lines and a passage within the theme of the last movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony (1896) was pointed out by Deryck Cooke in 1970.
